First make sure the needle is in the machine correctly- all the way up into the needle bar and that it is threaded correctly, etc
If this all checks out ok, take the bobbin case out of the machine. There are two ears on either side of the bobbin case- turn the left one to the left and the right one to the right. Remove the silver ring, and inspect the piece of metal that the ring came off of (looks like a circle with the top cut off). You have to locate the hook which is the piece that looks like a half moon inside the big round metal piece. Locate the tip of it, turn the handwheel toward you until the needle is in the lowest position, at this point the tip of the hook should be flush with top of the left side of the cut off circle. If this is not so, your machine needs to be re-timed which can be done from the bottome of the machine usually.
may I suggest also emailing someone who mainly handles sewing problems and would know the exact settings off-hand as I am not totally familiar with this exact model

When the needle is not picking the bobbin thread: please check the following: a) When sewing stretchy fabrics, make sure you are using the proper designed specially for stretch fabric. Using regular point needle might result in skipping stitches. b) When sewing with heavier thread such as denim thread, the needle used must be big enough so that the hole produce by the needle allows the thread to go down into the fabric but also have room to come back up c) If the needle is not picking-up the bobbin thread after one needle was broken, it could be that the timing was forced and the sewing machine has to be checked by a technician.

Let me know how this goes when you try it and if you have any questions on this, please tell me. thanks.
first of all make sure you have the needle in the correct way round, flat side facing back, try a new needle, it only has to be slightly bent or blunt and it will miss stitches, the tension unit is the small piece near the takeup lever and it only has a small spring but that has nothing to do with the threading picking up, if the machine misses stitches after trying the above then you will need to retime the machine either bu a shop or by yourself, if you are sewing on fabric that collects static such as knitted fabric make sure you use an anti-static needle otherwise it will miss stitches.
This how you retime it: Wipe the oil off the bobbin case area. Select straight stitch, take off the needle plate, take the bottom of the machine off so you can see unber the raceway, take out the bobbin if you have a drop in bobbin, take out the bobbin and bobbin case if you have a side or front loading bobbin case and undo the two catches and lower or take off the hook retaining plate, turn the balance wheel by hand towards you so the needle goes down into the machine and then starts to go back up, stop, leave it there, look at the point of the hook, it should be just above the eye of the needle, if it is not you will need to slacken off the screws on the vertical gear underneath the raceway or if you have a side or front loading bobbin case undo the screws on the shaft near the raceway, you can now move the point of the hook to where it should be, tighten the screws up and put the bits back so you can test sew, if it sews perfectly try it on a wide zig zag, if it misses stitches you will need to reset it again moving the point slightly left or right and test again, it may take a number of attempts so you will need patience.
Goodluck again..

Hi,
first of all make sure you have the needle in the correct way round, flat side facing back, try a new needle, it only has to be slightly bent or blunt and it will miss stitches, the tension unit is the small piece near the takeup lever and it only has a small spring but that has nothing to do with the threading picking up, if the machine misses stitches after trying the above then you will need to retime the machine either bu a shop or by yourself, if you are sewing on fabric that collects static such as knitted fabric make sure you use an anti-static needle otherwise it will miss stitches.

This how you retime it:
Wipe the oil off the bobbin case area.
Select straight stitch, take off the needle plate, take the bottom of
the machine off so you can see unber the raceway, take out the bobbin
if you have a drop in bobbin, take out the bobbin and bobbin case if
you have a side or front loading bobbin case and undo the two catches
and lower or take off the hook retaining plate, turn the balance wheel
by hand towards you so the needle goes down into the machine and then
starts to go back up, stop, leave it there, look at the point of the
hook, it should be just above the eye of the needle, if it is not you
will need to slacken off the screws on the vertical gear underneath the
raceway or if you have a side or front loading bobbin case undo the
screws on the shaft near the raceway, you can now move the point of the
hook to where it should be, tighten the screws up and put the bits back
so you can test sew, if it sews perfectly try it on a wide zig zag, if
it misses stitches you will need to reset it again moving the point
slightly left or right and test again, it may take a number of attempts
so you will need patience.
Goodluck again..
